Re: Hallmark Channel's Countdown to Christmas
It was okay, but my sisters photo book from her family's safari (she spent beacoup bucks but from the pics I saw it appears to have been worth every penny) was actually more entertaining to go through. That sounds harsher than I intended it to sound but yeah...as someone mentioned several posts up the past couple of years many Hallmark films (not just the Christmas ones) are more meh than great.
The good ones really are fun to watch and hey, it is always nice to have something to watch while playing a game on the iPad where I do not have to be overly concerned that I missed something important on the screen.
To end this post on a high note...I want to point out that I am crazy happy so many original Hallmark/Hallmark Movies & Mysteries films are popping up every weekend in August, so take some of my whinging with a grain of salt.

I think they premiere a new movie every week am I right.

Yup, this past Sunday was a new Aurora Teagarden, and there are the 4 new Garage Sale Mystery films comings up...which is awesome sauce. That is just on the Movies & Mysteries channel so yeah, lots of Hallmark goodies to enjoy in August, and I think the latest season of Chesapeake Shores also premieres in August.

I just bought Holiday Heist, you can’t beat that price, plus Ion stopped airing the movie. It’s pretty good.

The quality has dipped since they aggressively expanded their production schedule.

Re: Hallmark Channel's Countdown to Christmas
Thanks for posting these. I bought a few. You can add
Fairfield Road, Hitched for Christmas and Love Again to the list.
Non Hallmark titles - Snowmance and Christmas at Maxwell's are also $.99 cents.
I can't add the links. Not enough posts.

Re: Hallmark Channel's Countdown to Christmas
This isn't a Hallmark Channel movie, but you guys might be interested.
The Night They Saved Christmas (1984) is $1.99 at Amazon. It's an classic made-for-TV movie. The video is HD and widescreen. It must have been recently remastered, because it looks really good considering it's an 80's TV movie.

I don't see Lee Majors on the cast list. But it does have a bunch of 80's stars like Jaclyn Smith, Art Carney, Paul LeMat, June Lockhart, Mason Adams and Paul Williams.

Re: Hallmark Channel's Countdown to Christmas
Bridal Fever from 2008 aired on the Hallmark Channel.
It stars Andrea Roth, Delta Burke, Gabriel Hogan and is $.99 cents.
For Better or For Worse with Kim Fields and Lisa Welchel of Facts of Life.
This one is also $.99 cents.
Any idea why these titles are so cheap?

Re: Hallmark Channel's Countdown to Christmas
I'm guessing you meant Hitched For The Holidays. That's one of my favorites. I watch it every year. It's from 2012, back when Hallmark was making really good Christmas movies. It's funny and romantic, and the cast has great chemistry. I definitely recommend it.

Re: Hallmark Channel's Countdown to Christmas
I blind-bought a few of those Hallmark films, but fortunately I first checked my Vudu account for Hitched for the Holidays, and sure enough I already owned that one.

Re: Hallmark Channel's Countdown to Christmas
Found another $.99 cent title. Actually, the movie consists of two episodes for $.99 cents each.
It's The Lady Musketeer. IMDB also has the listing as La Femme Musketeer. Was a Hallmark Movie from 2004.
1660, France. The Cardinal (Golden Globe winner Gérard Depardieu) has his guards. The King (Freddie Sayers) boasts his Musketeers. But there is one Musketeer who stands apart from the rest. Set against a colorful backdrop of rich historical detail and nefarious court intrigue, with an award-winning international cast, The Lady Musketeer gives swashbuckling an utterly thrilling makeover.
The cast includes Christopher Cazenove, John Rhys-Davies and Michael York.

Re: Hallmark Channel's Countdown to Christmas
I still don't have enough posts to post a link but found All I Want for Christmas for 1.99
There are multiple listings for this movie and one says not available but clicking on the name of the director got me to the listing that could be purchased. If someone else could post the link that'd be great.
If you type in Harvey Frost for the search under Prime Video a listing for purchase might be available.
